A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth; also called perigee. A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon. The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, was the closest a Full Moon has been to Earth since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon is even closer to Earth will be on November 25, 2034.

Our friend and colleague James Farley, photographer extraordinaire, took Supermoon photos in Winston-Salem, NC, which were featured by Lanie Pope on WXII 12 Winston-Salem!
